Your path is one of discipline， self-control， setting aside certain personal pleasures or immediate satisfaction for extended periods in order to achieve your goals. Since only those who work hard and have the capacity to endure and tough it out achieve the peaks you aim for， you may become hardened， toughened， "too old for your years".

Achievement through discipline is one of your keynotes in this lifetime. To fulfill your soul purpose you will need much patience， tenacity， endurance， and most likely a long period of apprenticeship or labor. You are equipped by nature to withstand the periods of self-denial， austerity， grueling study， repetitive practice， or "doing without" that your path in life requires. Serious about your aims and， above all， a realist， you are willing to pay your dues in order to get where you want to go， and whether your goal is spiritual attainment， development of a talent， or material success， you want to go to the top. Some degree of rigorous training or hardship (inner or outer) is apt to be a prerequisite to your eventual achievement， Jimmy， and unlike apparently "luckier" souls， you have to work hard and pull your own weight early in life. Often， too， you have to wait， to delay gratification， and plan your strategies very carefully and shrewdly in order to gain your desired ends. Through this， you develop a certain toughness and firmness， emotional detachment， inner resourcefulness and self-determination， which keeps you going when the road gets a little rocky on the way to the pinnacle you are aiming for. One pitfall you need to beware of is your tendency to become hardened and cynical， secretly envious of those whose way is less orduous or whose outlook and attitude is more trusting and carefree (irresponsible and immature， to your way of thinking). You seem to be given more "tests"， frustration， responsibilities， restrictions than others， and as a result， tend to view the world as an unfriendly place or life as a struggle. It is important for you not to become bitter because of this， or to try to take shortcuts， as these will almost certainly come back to haunt you later. The first half of your life， in particular， may seem heavy or hard， while the fruits of your steady efforts come to you later. Find out more with your full-length reading...

The essence of this lifetime is that you must prove yourself， Jimmy， and this you know at a deep level， and feel as a sort of inner pressure. (it can be next to impossible to get you to relax and enjoy yourself， to waste time or money or anything frivolous， or to gamble on anything you are not certain will yield real， tangible benefits). Because of your very strong (even if undefined) sense of purpose. Even your recreation is apt to be done in a calculated manner. You weigh the potential risks involved， and usually on the side of safety， for you have a very strong head to know where you are going and to be in control. Thus， the true experience of play tends to elude you， since it requires letting go of control， a certain indifference to results in preference for a free flowing openness to the moment. You do have a rather dry， ironic sense of humor， and it is important for you to keep that side of you alive as it gives you balance and a healthy perspective on things.

You are a highly emotional person， Jimmy， and tend to be rather easily swayed by the emotional state of your partner. For you， life and love are both subjective， almost abstract experiences; you may feel as though there is no hard line between right and wrong because you have such ready compassion. For example， where others might draw a hard line at infidelity in a relationship， you might be less likely to end a relationship over such an infraction because you are more likely to be able to understand the impulses behind such action.

This kind of compassion and emotional communication is a gift for your lover， but for you can be quite confusing to say the least. If your lover is depressed， you are depressed. If your lover is irritable， you feel guilty and apologetic. Find out more with your full-length reading...

You are likely， in fact， to be drawn to romantic partners who are moody， whose emotional lives are something of a roller coaster. You are easily drawn in to others' tales of sorrow and hardship and your instinct is to nurture them back to a place of contentment and stability -- even at your own expense. You may have established a pattern of relationships in which you were the nurturer and your lover was the taker， who neglected your emotional needs in their pursuit of satisfying their own.

In terms of soul development， Kate， your capacity for deep emotional attachment and emotional union， for merging on a feeling level， and for sympathetic understanding and compassionate feeling， are among your primary concerns in this lifetime. Your ability to discover and express who you are revolves around the themes of nurturing and of creating a home and deep roots， which will nourish you and give you confidence. In the simplest possible form， this could be expressed as having a family and centering your life around caring for your mate and children， basking in the warmth and closeness and security of home. There are other ways for the same basic impulse to be expressed， however. Regardless of your gender and whether or not you have flesh-and-blood children or consider yourself very domestic， you do need to "mother" (nurture， support， take care of， protect， cherish) and to have a sense of belonging， a sense of family， and a sense of continuing with the past. The family however， can be a spiritual family or group of close friends; the home， an inner home or base of security you create deep within; and the mothering you do may be through your work instead of with your own kin. This is very likely to be the case， in fact， if your childhood and family of origin was not especially nurturing or close. Your work may directly involve children， or providing emotional support， or literally feeding people， but it may be more subtle than that. For instance， Kate， if you are a business person， you may feel that your employees and customers (especially the loyal， long time ones) are your family and try to take care of them as such. You care about their personal lives and feel for their troubles， and can like a good mother you see them through tough times. Or， to give another example， as an artist you may regard your "babies" with such affection and attachment that it is hard for you to sell them. You want to make sure they go to "a good home"! Whatever form it takes， this emotional attachment and sympathetic feeling are the care of your life. There are pitfalls and potential difficulties on this path， such as， becoming overly dependent on being needed and thus unable to graciously let go when the "child" outgrows you， living in or holding on to the past (including old hurts and grudges)， and feeling deeply threatened by ("out-siders"， non-family members， foreigners). You also tend to be powerfully conditioned by your early home life and your experience of being mothered. If your own nurturing as a child was unsatisfying， Kate， you may wander through life "on empty"， desperately seeking the love and security you missed as a child. Or， instead， to rigidly deny that you need anybody， building protective walls around yourself to keep out the fearful world. Afraid of having your tender insides exposed， as well as of your own emotional neediness， you may over eat or over drink to pacify your longing. Becoming obsessively interested in the past or with money as a form of security are also ways you express yourself when you are out of balance. An overly close， smothering relationship to mother， or to "the way things are done in our family" can also prevent you from becoming a full-fledged individual in your own right， the proverbial cutting of the apron strings being rather difficult for you.

Key issues: Self expression through what is familiar; nurturing soulful connections to others and to the past.

When you are at your best， you radiate sympathetic understanding and mother-like caring and concern. Taking care of others， especially "your own" (family， neighborhood， etc.) is central to your very identity. You are apt to be tenaciously loyal and somewhat irrational in your attachments. That is， it is not easy for you to be detached and objective. Like the adoring mother who can't see or admit her son's delinquent behavior， or the patriot who stoutly defends his/her country's treachery simply because "it is my country". Emotional affiliation is what matters most to you. You value belonging， family solidarity， home， and continuity with the past. Cherishing what is familiar， it may be very difficult for you to leave home either literally or figuratively. You are also very tied to the women in your life.

2006年 4月17日(mon) Are Past Loves the Key to Romantic Bliss?

You maintain a certain intellectual aloofness that can damage your romantic relationships， Kate. In a prior life you were interested in the common good; perhaps you were a revolutionary leader， an academic or someone who worked for social reform， and you distanced yourself from people on a personal basis in order to devote your energies to the group as a whole.

In your current life you maintain a bit of that aloofness， and it can make your intimate partner feel neglected or held at arm's length. You have a tendency to claim your individuality in a way that pushes others away. Your lover might bring this to your attention， in a direct or indirect way. If you maintain your individuality too stringently， you can inadvertently hurt the people who are closest to you.

You have a certain shyness， a reserved demeanor， that is rooted in some kind of insecurity that you have carried with you from a past life. You use your intellectual leanings as a tool， a crutch even -- you distance yourself from emotional entanglements that might overwhelm you. You have trouble sharing your innermost thoughts， feelings and fears， and this can make your romantic partner feel rather shut out.
